Personalised Learning means a tailored education for every child and young person, that gives them strength in the basics, stretches their aspirations, and builds their life chances. It is key to tackling the persistent achievement gaps between different social and ethnic groups. Vital to personalised learning is a rich and exciting range of opportunities and activities, beyond the school day, that will allow children and young people to follow their interests, broaden their horizons, remove barriers to learning and motivate them to greater achievements, enabling them to take greater responsibility for their own learning and development.
Study Support programmes provided by schools and other organisations will be an essential component of personalised learning. These will include, amongst other things:
• Extra small group or one-to-one tuition for those that need it, in addition to excellent whole class teaching, as an integrated part of the child's learning
• Opportunities for all children to get extra support and tuition in subjects and activities they are interested in, as well as access to a range of opportunities beyond the school day, including weekend and holiday courses and online learning
• A rich, flexible and accessible curriculum inside and outside the classroom, and for older pupils, one that allows them to mix academic and vocational learning;
• Innovative use of ICT, both in the classroom and linking the classroom and home.
